Emaj7   E  A             Emaj7  E  AShakedown 1979,
                            Emaj7  E  Acool kids never have the time
                                F#m             B           Emaj7  E  A
on a live wire right up off the street, you and I should meet
                            Emaj7  E  Ajunebug skipping like a stone
                                      Ema7  E  A
with the headlights pointed at the dawn
                               F#m           B
we were sure we'd never see an end to it all
     E           A                            E
and I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
             A                              E              A
and we don't know just where our bones will rest to dust I guess
                  F#m                 B
forgotten and absorbed into the earth belowEmaj7  E  A
Emaj7  E  A                                      Emaj7  E  A
             double cross the vacant and the bored
                                          Emaj7  E  A
they're not sure just what we have in store                     F#m          A
morpine city slippin dues down to see
     E             A                      E 
that we don't even care as restless as we are
            A                              E
we feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
              A                 Band poured cement, lamented and assured
                  C#m     Ato the lights and towns below
B               C#m      Afaster than the speed of sound
B              C#m          A   F#m         B           Emaj7  E  A
faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
                           Emaj7  E  AJustine never knew the rules
                                       Emaj7  E  A
hung down with the freaks and the ghouls                             Emaj7  E  A
no apologies ever need be made                           F#m
I know you better than you fake it
    B       E             A                          E
to see that we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
             A                              E               A
and we don't know just where our bones will rest, to dust I guess
                  F#m       B         Emaj7  E  A 
forgotten and absorbed into earth below
                                    Emaj7  E  A                                                    
the street heats the urgency of sound                                  E
as you can see there's no one around
